research inspiration

Through this work, engaging often students, academic, industry and clinical collaborators, we seek to realise together a meaningful impact on the international practice of healthcare.

I am AdAstra Assistant Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at the School of Information and Communication Studies, where my research focuses on advancing a human-centred approach to health and care for the digital age — through the design, development and evaluation of digital tools to enhance the clinical practice of healthcare, everyday mental health, and digital wellbeing. I bring an interdisciplinary perspective to the practice of health and mental healthcare technology development, informed by a background spanning engineering, computer science and design, embracing a participatory approach to the creative practice of mixed-methods design research, and with a focus on developing caring teams and cultures in close collaboration with patient groups, professionals, and diverse communities of practice.
